“THERE IS OF COURSE A PERSONAL AND DIRECT INVOLVEMENT IN THE PLACES THAT I LATER DEPICT BUT(AND), MY ARTISTIC PRACTICE INVOLVES RESEARCHING INTO HISTORICAL ARCHIVES LOOKING FOR TESTIMONIALS FROM OTHER VISITORS , NARRATIVES, LEGAL DOCUMENTATION, MEDIA THAT IS DECONSTRUCTED IN ORDER TO RE-BUILD ANOTHER REALITY THAT IS LINKED TO VISUAL EMOTIONS AND THE NARRATIVE OF IMAGES, OBJECTS AND GRAPHICS.”
